Oh My Gosh Im So Sorry Good Luck - No Advise Though Because I Dont Know Much About It But I Hope You Get Everything Taken Care Of !

Wow! I can't say that I can relate to that but atleast they are gong to remove it now. just think you will be THAT much healthier when it is done AND you are banded! I just got banded on 2/12 it it working out grreat so far for me. So from that aspect, keep your head up, it will work out for you too. Just think, you have waited THIS long, what's a few more days. Good luck and I hope it goes well for you.

tnix, I just wanted to drop in here and let you know that there is a lady on the February 2007 Bandsters thread that was supposed to be banded on the 22nd, and they accidentally punctured her colon, and they had to repair that, and she has to wait for that to heal before she can go back in for her lap band surgery. She has managed to stay positive about her situation.

Good luck!
